Those are good news! I'll give it a look when I finish the current project.

We are already working on one. In fact our version works quite well at the moment. It is part of the Fling project, and while this is not a part of porting the Spring framework, we found that there was a definite need for such a thing in Flash. The AssetLoader is just a small portion of the whole framework (soon to come), but it is very powerful and quite usable in its current format. Not only do we handle loading bitmaps and SWF files with this tool, but it also handles every other type of asset that Flash will load (XML, FLV, MP3, etc...). And it does this with a consitant API for all assets. If you are interested in checking it out, or in contributing to the project, please look at the SVN repository here: http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/fling/ The idea behind Fling is to support most of the Spring Framework, or at least where it makes sense for Flash. Address common problems in Flash development in a light weight and easy to use fashion. Make the framework configurable via XML. And Fling will not have any dependencies on using the library. In other words use as much or as little of the framework without being locked into any one solution. Just use as much as makes sense for your project. I also want to take the time here to introduce and thank the Fling development team: Grant Davies John Grden Samuel Agesilas Simon Wacker and Me -Chris _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
